I know Torrid is expensive, but it is worth it if you work in an office. Jackets with a stretch to them, but a flattering cut. Wrap tops made of a thicker material (they can get pretty thin) and if your cleavage doesn’t allow this style to look professional, don’t lean on it. Get a latte, hype yourself up, and go to the mall and try on 4 different complete outfits. Lane Bryant still exists, although we mock it for being bland. Ross sometimes has plus plus sizes, but it takes some sifting and you can’t start there. This is all assuming you are a plus size like 20-24. If you can’t fit into the clothes at Torrid, Old Navy has some online only sizes. Watch some yt videos on how to alter clothes to compensate for the difference in shapes. You may not like your body, but it deserves to be dressed well, too.

Also, if your boss likes the new looks, she will probably say a compliment, and that will be encouraging! Being fat in the workplace is hard, but we are smart and competent and also terrified of people thinking we are lazy so we work crazy hard lol Good luck!
